I’ve just written an article on PressPad blog about creating and promoting online magazines and I hope it will be helpful for every publisher :)

Thank you for the show. I am in the process of starting an online newspaper for my state and community. Any advice from folks would be greatly appreciated. Please send your thoughts to [email protected]
